It’s been an interesting day. In the afternoon, xj and siling came over to play tennis with me. Xj and I spent about half an hour drying to dry the court, and it was nearly more tiring than playing tennis. I finally did some exercise after living like some civilised pig for a few weeks.

In the evening, TF committee came over to my house for a BBQ. It was great fun and I had a good time laughing till my jaws hurt. Anyway, I’m thankful for the fellowship last night (it’s about 1 am now). It’s September now and tomorrow (today) will be the fourth last committee meeting I’ll be chairing…

Mom and dad are at Batam with Andrew Fellowship for a  teambuilding camp. Jean and I are left at home to fend for ourselves. We had to do quite a bit of housework after the BBQ. The weird thing is, when mom’s around nagging, we don’t usually follow all the “rules” of house chores (i.e. we omit some steps). But now that we’re left to operate that cleanliness reset button, we follow the house rules more closely than ever, like cleaning up every spec of dirt and following all routine house chore procedures with utmost precision. It’s weirdly true.

The holidays are almost over. Sigh.. Such short-lived happiness.
